giving? >> gift cards are the key to gift giving, brian. >> because then you put the ball back into the gift receiver's court. >> hey, here's a $100 gift certificate to marshalls or target or some sort of store. then they could go in and buy the gift that they want. when you try to decide what somebody wants for christmas, it's like trying to decide what ice cream flavor they like. it's just not going to work. so go gift card. you can never go wrong. it's not exactly creative, but that's the way it goes. >> joe, i'm going to buy your book, but not your blazer. have a great christmas. that is it. >> i borrowed it from doocy. >> it's a little loud, i know, but, hey, be sure to tune in to one nation, america's favorite show saturday night at 9:00 eastern time. you, you. it will be on adam hunter, fannie hari, the food police, everybody else. stay within yourself, everyone. and a great show is coming up. i think it's hannity. >> welcome to this special edition of hannity. i'm jason

chaffetz in for sean. and tonight it's the friday before christmas. and all through the house lawmakers finally got busy to avoid a shutdown. and yet the president of the united states is still nowhere to be found. coming up, we'll have more on biden's sad exit from public life straight ahead. but first here with the very latest from capitol hill. chad pergram is back with us. chad, what's the latest? >> jason. good evening. well, no government shutdown right now. we're waiting for the senate to align with the house of representatives. later tonight. the government formally would shut down in a little bit less than three hours here. but we're not expecting that to happen. and even if they do vote, it would probably be just a little bit past midnight. that would be a technical shutdown, but it's not going to affect anything. the house of representatives passed this bill earlier tonight, 366 to 34. there were no democratic no's, and all the no's came from the gop. jasmine crockett, she voted present.

she is a democrat from texas. this bill was much more svelte. 118 pages. it renews funding through march 14th. so right now we're just waiting on the senate to vote. >> chad, look, i served in congress for eight years. you've been following it for longer than that. this seems to be standard operating procedure. you know, when they have a deadline and it involves december, it's going to be down to hours. i mean, this is this is the norm, right? this isn't abnormal to how congress works. >> yeah. we've been here december after december after december, as i always say facetiously, it's the most wonderful time of the year here on capitol hill. they always have this, you know, rush to get things done. it's always dramatic. back in 2009, the senate on christmas eve morning passed the initial version of obamacare. i mean, this tells you how high stakes some of this stuff can be. but yes, this is very typical. and sometimes they have blown that deadline. we have been here over new year's eve. i remember

in 2012, going into 2013, then vice president biden came to the capitol for negotiations at 840 at night and then the senate in the new year, about 240 in the morning started to vote. if that tells you how bad that year was. so this is pretty easy compared to some other years we've seen up here. >> jason, what's the atmosphere like on the house of representatives? was there there? how much animosity was there towards the speaker and say the last 72 hours, is this going to make his job that much more difficult in getting his confirmation vote to be speaker again in the 118th, 19th congress, i should say, yeah, they have to vote for speaker on january 3rd. >> there are some members here who are starting to say, look, he didn't handle this. well, you kind of had the conflict with the president elect trump, certainly elon musk, that muddled things. a lot of people said, what were you thinking, a 1500 page bill? but there's a lot of things in that piece of

legislation that members think has to get done. so what does it look like when they turn around and do try to do some of those things? but what this does is the experience over the past 2 to 3 days, this portends issues for next year. it is going to be very challenging to manage the house of representatives when they're down to a 1 or 2 vote margin. they have all these big promises for incoming president elect trump and what they want to do on taxes on the border, border security, etc. it's about the math, and it might not work. and that's exactly what we saw in the house of representatives here today. and it's going to be about the math for mike johnson on january 3rd. again, he has to have an outright majority of all members voting for somebody by name. they'll start at 434 members. that means he gets 218. he has to get to 218. they can lose one on opening day. otherwise they have to keep voting and voting and voting to get a speaker. generally, the consensus here on capitol hill is that that vote might take

one to 2 to 3 votes. it's probably not going to be one and out, even if there are protests. now, president elect trump so far, he supports mike johnson for the speakership. but remember, the house of representatives cannot do anything until they elect a speaker. so if they get to delay this by several days, which is what happened in 2023 with former speaker kevin mccarthy, that kind of hamstrings the agenda of trying to get done the agenda right off the bat, trying to go through those things. it just it just staggers that. and when they're talking about doing budget reconciliation and getting things done by march, any time you lose off that clock, that's a problem. >> well, and it also includes the confirmation of the presidential election on january 6th. there's also that along the way. chad pergram, you're the best. appreciate it. merry christmas. thanks for joining us tonight. thank you. we're also joined by wyoming senator cynthia lummis. i served with cynthia lummis in the house of representatives. she's now the senator in

wyoming. senator, you've seen this on both sides, the house and the senate. as i was mentioning with chad, this is sort of standard operating procedure. why is it like this? why why do we keep doing this? i mean, this process seems totally broken. >> the process is broken. jason, you and i were both there when chad mentioned we were in session on christmas eve. you and i were both there when we were in session at midnight on new year's eve. this is a process that is designed to buy leadership, to get people to agree to things they wouldn't otherwise agree to, because they force it to the last hours before christmas when everybody wants to get home. this bill that passed the senate or excuse me, the house this afternoon is actually in pretty good shape. normally, leadership stuffs these bills full of things for their states

or their districts. that's not really the case this time. this bill is pretty clean going into march with a continuing resolution. so actually looks pretty good. i'm not surprised that it got the votes in the house to pass. and they will also get the votes in the senate tonight before midnight. so we're going to get there by the hair of my chinny chin chin. >> but the person who's missing in this process, who is actually key to it, who actually ultimately has to sign the bill, is the president of the united states. is there any sign of life? is there any sign that he is involved or engaged in this process in any way, shape or form? at this point, there is not an indication that he's been involved. >> and so when there's a vacuum like that, jason, as you know, people default to the person who is exhibiting leadership.

and right now that person is donald trump. so donald trump has had his people, elon musk, jd vance on capitol hill or tweeting in ways that inform legislators what soon to be president trump is thinking. so we've seen a taste of what things could be like when we get rolling in january. with president trump working with jd vance and with with elon musk. so i'm looking forward to it. it's going to be exciting. it's going to be bumpy. we know that it's going to be really, really bumpy. but that's what the public is ready for. they want this place to get shaken up. they want disruptive change. they want transformative change. and i honestly believe they're going to get it. we're just getting a little taste of it right now. >> i tell you, january 20th can't come soon enough to have

to go through. what the country goes through at this point is just untenable. with a totally absent president along along the way and in the process. senator lummis from wyoming, thank you so much for joining us tonight on hannity. merry christmas. all right. it's tense. budget negotiations unfolded this week. someone very important in the washington swamp has been noticeably missing as we were just talking about, it's the so-called leader of the free world. joe biden has been awol for days, but no one on either side of the aisle, they seem to. do they even care? according to politico, congressional democrats didn't hear from the president but were, quote, largely fine with biden's absence. and there's little clamor for him to return. as one of the quotes, this comes in the shadow of a damning report from the wall street journal titled how the white house functioned with a diminished biden in charge,

based on numerous sources from inside the administration. joe biden had good days and a whole lot of bad days, but was simply not capable of fulfilling the rigorous duties of the presidency. his cognitive decline was apparent from day one. for example, in 2021, a mentally fatigued joe biden skipped an important call ahead of his disastrous withdrawal from afghanistan. but according to karine jean-pierre, the fountain of truth and knowledge, her boss is just fine and looking forward to one last taxpayer funded vacation to italy before he leaves office forever. you heard it right. the first part of january, he's going to italy and we're all going to pay for it. joining us now with reaction is fox news contributor tammy bruce and former clinton adviser and democratic pollster doug schoen. thank you both for joining us. tammy. thank you. you watched this. you watched

this closely. i can't imagine why and how the president can justify going to italy, and why that's in the best interest of the united states. but he's been absent. but nobody cares. put this in perspective. >> well, we'll see. that's it. when they say he's been awol over the last few days or weeks, he's been awol for four years. right? we've discussed this on various programs. certainly. sean's always discussed it. you've been on top of it. i know douglas knows that this has been the case from the beginning, and it has been disturbing that we've, you know, the country and certain legacy media has kind of suspended disbelief that this has always been fine. and this is this is the democrats are this is their usual standard procedure here without this guy. the good news is donald trump actually had his first victory, that awful 1500 page debacle woke debacle was

eliminated, right? that was something that the republicans and johnson was going to move ahead with. and that has been stopped. and they're getting down to at least i don't know if president trump will be entirely happy with this first stage, but they're actually going to get some business done. if we wanted business as usual. as per your conversation with the senator, we would have elected biden again. i mean, this statement, the election of trump and vance and the cabinet that he's put together is a statement and a recognition about what the american people want. so, yes, this has been our problem and deserves investigation. when trump is in office is exactly what has been going on for four years in the white house. >> doug, did the democrats i mean, how do they look? anybody in the eye? they seem to claim, oh, we were oblivious to how absent he was. we were oblivious to his cognitive decline. are you kidding me? i mean, how do they have any

credibility on this topic? and certainly when you're in the midst of a budget negotiation, i mean, the guy should be there on the phones, working the phones, working with senators, working with the house members. and he's just absolutely nowhere. >> you know, the problem for me, jason, is i wish i could disagree with you. >> and as tammy acknowledged, this is something that people across the aisle have seen. but we democrats haven't been as candid as we need to be. and if we had been, we probably would have had a more robust nominating process and potentially nominated a stronger candidate than kamala harris. so it's been effectively a fraud on the american people, and i dare say, has hurt my party in being competitive in the recently completed elections. i frankly think that joe biden, given that report about afghanistan, was not fully capable of making decisions during the bulk of

his presidency. and we, the american people, have been the losers effectively. now, tammy is right. donald trump is the president, not joe biden. >> doug. that's why we love you because you call balls and strikes. and you're right. there's no defending this. but but there isn't. it's amazing. it's amazing how many people were complicit from the national media to the family members to the senior staff, to the senator, i mean senators around him. how could they let this go for four years? as you said? >> well, you this the bureaucracy has always believed that they're the ones who run the country, that a president does not matter, that they're the ones who who matter. they're the ones who make the decisions. they're the ones who are there forever. and so that hubris comes through. they were panicked. and this also tells you about the lack of talent on the democrat side. sorry, douglas, but that, you know,

biden was their only choice. and kamala harris, this is it's a serious situation for the country because the republicans need obviously, a loyal opposition and this country expects it and the founders expected it. but you have people now, and this is the, you know, unconstitutional quandary here is that we have a president who is answerable, who has a lot of power and is answerable to the people through the elections and can be impeached, can be removed. but when you have a faceless, nameless, unelected bureaucracy that may make horrific decisions, destroy the military, destroy the country, who do you punish? who do you bring forward because none of them are known. and then they they slink back as they expect to do into the system itself, into the bureaucracy to continue. that is not what the constitution demands. it's not what the american people want. and as we've seen, jason, it

destroys things because no, everybody knows who's doing it, that they'll have no repercussions publicly or when it comes to their jobs. >> doug, we only have a few seconds left, but i want to make sure you get the last word here. >> yeah. what i took from today, which was heartwarming and beneficial, is that there was a bipartisan vote of about 336, if i remember correctly, for the bill. this suggests that with a common sense centrist agenda on crime, the budget and on the border, we can potentially do serious business as the negotiations on the on immigration are suggesting. let's hope that's what comes for it. and joe biden, he's mia and gone. and that's to the good. >> yeah yeah. >> great point doug tammy thank you. and by the way thank you. justification for going to italy i can tell you that. have a wonderful merry christmas.

all right. coming up, the media finally comes to terms with their trump derangement syndrome. or do they? plus, joe biden takes a very unusual victory lap as this special edition of hannity continues. >> i tried everything for my stubborn dandruff, and then i found nizoral. nizoral works differently to get to the root cause of dandruff. >> in fact, its active ingredient is ten times more effective at fighting fungus, the primary cause of dandruff. >> say goodbye to stubborn dandruff with nizoral gia diamond's lowest prices ever, the jewelry exchange has natural one carat gia just 1990 custom mounts are just 4.99 50, 2992 carat 5990. >> thousands of diamonds guaranteed the lowest price the jewelry exchange. >> be honest. >> do you actually wash your water bottle every day? >> do your kids bacteria can double every 20 minutes. >> don't grow bacteria in your water bottle. >> the american wagon train pioneers used silver coins to

>> thank you. >> welcome back to this special edition of hannity. it looks like a christmas miracle is now upon us because the mainstream media, at least some of them, are actually admitting they were wrong. take a look at what former cnn political analyst chris cillizza posted online yesterday. >> i should have pushed harder earlier for more information about joe biden's mental and physical well-being and any

signs of decline. i worked at cnn through 2022. during that time, the early part, when i was at cnn, 2020 to 2022, people would regularly republicans would regularly, regularly ping me and say, why don't you ask more questions to joe biden and how he's doing? he's 76, 77, 78 year old man. and i would sort of brush them off. the white house and the people around joe biden were absolutely adamant that suggesting anything, asking the question about whether he was in some physical, mental or both decline was offensive. how could you? it's age shaming, and i think that impacted me. >> at least he's admitting it now out loud. but he's not the only one. the owner of the los angeles times is now telling his editorial board to take a break from writing about and

trashing president elect donald trump. some in the media are starting to realize that they've been missing the boat for quite some time. for example, the house has been investigating the weaponization of the federal government for two years, and you probably haven't heard about it, not even a peep on cnn or msnbc. as the weaponization committee closes out its work. it just released this. now get this. a 17,000 page report detailing a government drunk on power. here. now with more is incoming counselor to president trump, alina habba. alina, look, you've been on the front lines of the weaponization of the legal and justice system, but it goes to a whole other level the weaponization of government. it's not just the department of justice, but it's also all these other

departments and agencies. so what's life going to be like? what can the president do to fight back and tear down this attack on conservatives, republicans, and specifically the trump and their family? quite frankly, well, nobody knows better than you, jason. >> you were part of the oversight committee. here's what we have to do. we have to look. we have to look. we have to have oversight. we have to have real oversight, not just a bunch of subpoenas that go nowhere. america wants action. and that's very clear. i'm an american. i'm sitting here like everybody else, watching. i'm watching subpoena after subpoena, testimony after testimony, people dodging testimony, people ignoring subpoenas for documents. it has to end. and they put this 1700 page document together, hoping that the american people won't read it. let's be very straight, because there's a reason the bill that just got passed went from over, whatever, 1400, roughly pages to 118. there's a reason they

do that. it's strategic in the legal world that i was in for so long. what they do is they do a page dump. they do a dump of documents, hoping you don't look in the weeds. america isn't buying it anymore. and when we go in, we're looking. that's what's going to happen. >> so let's go back to the department of justice. i have no doubt that a kash patel once confirmed, along with our new attorney general and pam bondi, they have the fortitude to get it done. but they're also going. they're going up against 110,000 people at the department of justice. so it's quite a hill to climb. what what can what do what should we expect coming out of a trump run department of justice? >> oh, i have zero. first of all, you couldn't build a hill big enough for cash or pam, these are friends of mine. they are amazing. they deserve their spot in this country. they have earned it. they are smart. they also know the ropes and they are not going to let anyone. i

don't care if it's 1500 people or 20,000 people. no one is going to get in their way because we have a short amount of time to fix america. and i can assure you that these people, once they are, once they are confirmed, they will do what they need to do. they have a plan. they have a mandate from president trump. they will follow that mandate, but also they will do it for the american people. this is not a revenge tour. this is a clean up america so that we do not go to what we are right now. these are the two you mentioned. there's some of my favorite people. they are so qualified. i am ready to rock and roll with them. they're going to be epic. >> a very quick story. when i was in congress, it was legendary that a member of congress went to go meet with a cabinet secretary. cabinet secretary wasn't there, and it was senior staff. and when the senior staff was there, but not the secretary, the member of congress gets upset and decides, oh, i'm going to leave. and then they said, he said, i'm not going to go meet with the b team, the b team. that's not what i'm going to

do. and finally, one of the senior staff looked at him and said, yeah, we be the b team. we be here before you. we be here after you, and we be the ones to actually make the decisions around here. and that is so true. you got to starve the beast. you got to flush those people out and you got to get rid of them. and i have no doubt that donald trump will do that. last word to you, elena. >> no, he like i can't agree with you more. i think that was a perfect last word. we're ready to roll. i mean, i've spent, you know, i'm in palm beach, we're here at the winter white house, and everybody is working so hard. i think in your last segment, you said president biden does not exist. president trump is the president. he is working so hard for the american people right now. and frankly, so is every single person that he has nominated. and we are ready. we are ready to save america. we've been saying it. it's not just a catch phrase. we're going to make america great again. i cannot wait. >> well, it's a tenacious team and you've helped lead that charge. we've watched you from afar and god bless you.

godspeed and have a wonderful, wonderful holiday. and a merry christmas. elena. >> thank you. merry christmas. >> all right, joe biden, he's got one month. you still have another month of this, folks in his term. and apparently he has no regrets. when asked during a recent podcast interview what he wanted his legacy to be. this is hard to do with a straight face, biden answered, quote, i keep my word that what i said i was going to do something. i did it, really. here's a quick reminder of just some of the promises joe biden broke various shots that people are getting now cover that you're okay. >> you're not going to you're not going to get covid if you have these vaccinations. and we have a process in place to manage migrants at the border, we're working to make sure it's safe and orderly and humane sounds to most folks like a crisis. well, look, it's way down now. we've now gotten control. are you committed to making sure that the troops

stay until every american who wants to be out is out? yes. the wages for working families have gone up while inflation has come down 65%. >> will you accept the jury's outcome, their verdict, no matter what it is? yes. >> and have you ruled out a pardon for your son? >> yes. >> i here now with reaction. our podcast hosts morgan ortega and tudor dixon. thank you both for joining us. all right, morgan, let's start with you. as you think about joe biden, he said two things, right. he said his his word as a biden is just solid. and the other thing he said is that he led a scandal free administration. now, i don't know where his cognitive capabilities are these days, but what's on your list of reality for joe biden? >> yeah, i mean, listen, i look at it from around the world. >> of course, we know the biggest whopper that he told in the past four years was related to his son's pardon that he

said he wasn't going to give. but i think what's really scary when you look at the clips that you just did there, look at no further than afghanistan. and i think that withdrawal in august of 21 is where everything went downhill for him. he said that his military leaders did not advise him that he should go below 2500 troops. we know. of course they did, he said. no one told me that the afghan national army wouldn't be able to defend themselves against the taliban. of course, intelligence and military professionals had been warning him about the withdrawal. you go from afghanistan, you go to russia. he said he was going to destroy the russian economy with his sanctions. while there was a good initial sanctions tranche, that certainly didn't happen. russia has been injured by this war, but their economy has hummed along. you go. you look to asia. he said four different times that the u.s. was going to support taiwan militarily if china invaded. and every time his own white house had to walk that statement back, because that wasn't actually the policy of the united states. and, of course, he said things like,

whenever we gave billions of dollars to iran and ransom payments to get americans out, he said, well, they're only going to use that for humanitarian purposes. so that's just a quick glimpse, my friend, of some of the hot spots around the world where the president unfortunately told let's, let's be great. i'll be gracious. on friday night, he told half truths. >> that is being very gracious. morgan tudor, what's what's on your list? what pops to mind when you think of this topic? >> yeah, i think the first thing that pops to mind is the fact that he told us that he was mentally capable of handling the job, that he was not in mental decline, that he didn't have any problems with dementia. and yet we've seen this. and now these reports have come out where people have said, oh, we had to do so much to hide it. we had to find out if he had a good day or a bad day, that he wasn't actually even totally with it. on the day that he made the decision about afghanistan. but then he doubles down and he runs again

for office. i mean, and this is a double lie. he runs again saying he can handle the job, but he doesn't actually run because he steps out of the race. and then he hands it over to kamala harris, who he also knows is not prepared for the job. i mean, that that alone, i think, is the biggest disaster of his presidency. we have not known who is running the country well, and it permeates not only from the commander in chief, but down. >> because look at karine jean-pierre. i mean, how many times did she say, oh, it's clear. and that the president's running circles around us because he's so vibrant, or alejandro mayorkas telling us that the border was secure and they had operational control. it wasn't just joe biden that was lying to the american people. morgan. it was a whole host of people that were taking the cue from the president running with us and telling us lies that were shown to be not true. yeah. >> and that hurts american credibility on the world stage. if you actually care about

america leading the world, if you actually care about democracy as the democratic party, as biden has liked to say, that they care, then you can't actually, you know, say you can't actually put this man up and say, oh, sure, everything's fine. i mean, there is there are so many surprising things to me about the past four years. the wall street journal piece in the last few days was one of the least surprising things i have learned in the past four years. we all knew that he wasn't capable of doing it, because when he came out, it was obvious. and i think the damage that he did on the world stage and not just him, but his staff that they did to american credibility by essentially trying to force this lie upon all of us, that everything okay? the lights are on everybody's home. when we knew that wasn't well, you know what happened? it provoked war after war after war and war in so many theaters. thank god we have president donald trump coming back to put the world back on the right path. >> tudor elon got 15 seconds here. last word to you. >> well, i'll just say, coming

from michigan, there lies about ev vehicles have been devastating to our state, and we are so glad that donald trump has promised to bring true manufacturing back to michigan and true manufacturing back to the united states. and we believe that he will keep his promises, as he always has. >> morgan tudor, thank you so much for joining us. you're you're both right. because help comes and it comes on january 20th when you have a commander in chief, our friends will respect us and listen to us and work with us and our enemies. they're going to fear us, and that will make the world a safer place. all right. thank you again for joining us. all right. coming up, donald trump fights back after the so-called resistance against his border security agenda. sara carter and joey jones join us next on this special edition of hannity. >> i'm yael eckstein of the international fellowship of christians and jews. and this hanukkah holiday is of urgent

importance. this is our last chance to help thousands of holocaust survivors who are suffering today. >> have you eaten this morning? >> i ate the carrot, so i ate half of it yesterday. and this is what she ate in two days. >> this. would you please pray for me? >> the international fellowship of christians and jews began this ministry to help elderly jews living in horrible poverty around the world. this hanukkah you're urgently needed gift of only $25 will help russia. food box packed full of life saving essentials and includes everything they need to celebrate the miracle of the hanukkah holiday. >> i am very proud to partner and align with the international fellowship of christians and jews. >> this trusted ministry is giving christians like me a way to bless elderly jewish people

america is listening. >> welcome back to this special edition of hannity. tonight. the left continues their resistance against trump's mass deportation plans. the aclu is even touting a game plan to advise cities and states on how to help illegals evade deportation under trump. meanwhile, this week, president elect trump filed an amicus brief in support of a legal effort by texas and missouri to stop the biden administration from selling border wall materials, stating that, quote, such conduct likely constitutes a criminal act, such as conspiracy to defraud the united states. and surprise, surprise, since donald trump's victory in november, monthly border crossings fell below 100,000, the lowest level since biden took office in january of 2021. joining us now for a reaction. fox news contributors

sara carter and joey jones, thank you both for joining us. joey, i want to start with you, because i got to tell you, the selling of the border wall materials, that is one of the most offensive things. it's just a face to the american people. but the idea that there's going to be all this resistance to enforcement of our laws is it's just it's so wrong. >> yeah, i've got one better for you than that, jason. >> before they were selling the border wall because at least, you know, selling this steel to americans. >> you know, regular americans maybe can get a deal on some steel. >> but before they were doing that, i got emails over a year ago, probably close to two years ago, from a friend that works in a different government agency that i was in the marine corps with. >> they were telling every other government agency, here it is. just come get it, come pick it up and use it for whatever you need. park service, any other agency out there. and what makes that possibly illegal is that is that the way this was funded is

that it was not allowed to be used for anything but the border wall? and so that's where the trump, the trump camp, i guess, at this point about to be administration is looking at how how maybe there's some repercussions for this. >> right? >> sarah. we all we all know tom homan, and he's already been telling us the stories about some of the resistance that he's going to be having the idea that we have sanctuary cities, sanctuary states that they won't cooperate with law enforcement. we're talking about the criminal element within the illegal immigration population, people who have committed horrific crimes, and yet they won't communicate or help. ice is just unbelievable to me. >> well, it's not only unbelievable, but it is criminal. >> it really is criminal. president trump is right. i want you to think about this, jason. they don't even want they being the aclu and this radical left agenda, this open borders, biden crime administration agenda that they have going on. they don't even

want to deport the criminals. they don't want ice to have access to criminals that are being held in prison. they don't want ice to have access to the criminals that are on the streets. they don't want those deported. well, go ahead and tell that to the families of lincoln riley, of jocelyn, hungary, of, you know, elizabeth medina, of all the people that have faced this with such heartache and pain, who have lost their children or people who have just been, you know, caught in the middle of crime syndicate like tren de aragua. i mean, this is unbelievable. but i can tell you this, jason, this is a fact. we do both know tom homan. he is going to be our border czar. and president trump means business. that's why ken paxton filed this amicus brief with the southern district of texas. they are not going to allow that to happen. they are going to hold them accountable, and they're going to pull funding from these states. they are going to pull funding from the cities. if they do this, and they are not going to allow the aclu to break the law in the united states of america. you know, this is this is going to end

come january 2025. >> yeah. which can't come soon enough. joey, there's something like i read 1.4 million people who have been ordered by a federal judge to be deported and or leave the country, and they just haven't. i mean, they just flaunted the rule of law like there's no tomorrow. >> yeah. you know, criminals in new york city don't really care about getting arrested because they're going to be let right back out. so illegals in this country under the biden administration don't really care about being ordered to be deported. they can go down the road, get another green card with a different name and a different social security number, and go get a job somewhere else. that's been happening in my hometown for 30 years or more. this is nothing new. there are people out here. there are funny parody movies made about guys making green cards in a van down by the river, but it's absolutely a cottage industry. you can change your identity as an illegal in this country more quickly than you can become a legal immigrant or, yeah, a legal immigrant, that's for sure. so when we start ordering

deportations, when they started bringing people in and documenting their identity and saying, come back and see a judge and what is it, 2 to 7 years? well, they just go into the country and if they ever get caught up to they just completely change their identity. anyway, when i went to at 16 years old or 17, when i went to register with the unemployment office to find a job, some illegal, had been using my identity for five years. that's how this country has allowed this problem to persist. it happened in little places, industry, towns that needed the jobs and workers for a long time. but now it's happening everywhere. and those people that came, then they'll look at you and say, the people coming now are coming for the same reasons. they're not coming for jobs to support their family. they're coming because they think they can get a free ride. and if you look in new york city and other places, they kind of can. >> and the national security implications, jason, and the national security implications that jason, you know, that joey just pointed out, people just selling identification all over our streets. we're looking for

another september 11th to happen if we don't put a stop to it. >> and look, this administration has been putting people on flights without any sort of documentation. i mean, it's happening in mass. meanwhile, good, hardworking american citizens, they have to go through all those gyrations. they're treated better as the illegal immigrants than they are of somebody who's just an american who's hard working, doing what they're supposed to be doing. joey. sara, merry christmas. thanks so much for joining us. have a wonderful weekend and holiday. all right. coming up, 2024 was not easy for many on the left. we'll bring you their very worst political predictions of the year. you're going to want to see it. stay with us. we'll be right back. >> you believe you were sent by god? yes. >> repent.

>> welcome back to this special edition of hannity. it's that time of year again. 2024 is coming to a close. it's hard to believe that year went by so fast, and politico has released their annual list of worst political predictions, and this year's edition did not disappoint. so let's dive in. remember when the democrats promised us biden wouldn't pardon hunter even after the election? but once december rolled around, biden changed his mind and, of course, did just that. then there were many on the left who promised us that kamala harris would win in november. how'd that work out for them? even more ridiculous, democrats first promised us that biden would beat trump. of course, this was all before he fell flat on his face, and trump thumped him at the june debate. speaking of which, we were also told by biden's advisers that he would benefit from the early debate. in reality, it ended his campaign. of course, no list would be of wrong 2024 predictions would be

complete without mentioning allan lichtman and his infallible keys, which all but guaranteed a kamala harris win. he was very wrong, and even a fellow leftist called him out. remember this? >> look, i debated professor lichtman before i told him his theories about the keys were absurd. i was right, he was wrong. i said he'd lose his keys. >> no, you couldn't find him before the election. >> wrong. and that's a cheap shot. >> and i won't stand for it. >> well who won? >> brother should not be taking cheap shots at me. >> who won? want to make you live in a world of denial? you got it wrong. you were preposterously and stupidly wrong, so. >> okay. all right. >> can i just finish a stupid ever on this show? no, not if you're. personally, i admitted i was wrong. i don't need you to call me stupid, okay? can i just say it's great to see you democrats all getting along so well. manners. >> it's lovely to see you come together again. just.

>> whoa. here with reaction. author of the new book. now this book under his wings, emily compagno, rocking the new york times best seller list. it's flying off the shelves. congratulations on the book. emily is joining us. and fox news contributor leo terrell. thank you both for joining us. emily, since you've sold the most books of any of us here ever, please give us your perspective on all these predictions that happened in 2024. >> thank you for that very generous introduction. look, i have all of these predictions set into two categories, jason. the first is wishful thinking and the second is downright lies. >> so one wishful thinking would be, for example, james carville saying that trump was going to be a no show at the debate. right. and also those predictions like kamala winning, like biden winning based on the economy and things like that, and then the downright lies category, which

were things like, oh, biden will never pardon hunter. at the end of the day, this is what democrats hoped for. and that's why at the top of this politico list is this symbol at the top. it was crossed fingers because this is what they wanted to happen. and about that predictor model, the whole point is that you cannot predict the human psyche, the human emotion, the fact that americans rose up had the end. their patience was totally spread thin. they said no more to this opaque, lying, treacherous administration that has destroyed our entire way of life from the economy all the way down. no more. no, no predictor model can ever say, oh, it's going to be based on these factors. no, the human emotion is far too strong. so is america. >> leo, what's on your list? >> well, i'll tell you right now, in addition to what you have pointed out, i want to also mention the one regarding the week before the election. >> the iowa register poll results, which indicated that

kamala harris was going to win iowa. that's not a lie. that's just outright election interference. no one in this country, jason and emily, honestly believe that kamala harris was going to win iowa. that was an outright lie. it was designed to hurt trump's chances. it backfired. and in reality, trump, as you know, won all the seven battleground states. the bottom line was that the democrats lost their own constituents. look what trump did. the lies were not we're not going to work on the republican party, but the lies didn't work with the democrats. the democrats lost blacks, hispanics, jews, catholics. they were sick and tired of all the lies told by the democrats and by joe biden and kamala harris. >> i have a very short amount of time, but on my list is anytime kgb would go out and say it's clear, or when jen psaki at the beginning of the administration would say, let me circle back with you, because that never came full circle either, emily, like you

said, january 20th cannot come fast enough. >> that's absolutely right. look, at the end of the day, these predictions didn't come true because everyone underestimated trump and everyone underestimated the american people. there are no riots. there are no successful trials. there's no incarceration. all it is, is a duly elected president elect that's about to clean house. >> yeah, leo, they told us hitler was going to take office and it was so offensive and so wrong. >> and so, i mean, come on, the most offensive thing. remember the madison square garden love fest with trump? oh, that was hitler. that was nazis. there was that was a coalition of every american who wanted a change. and what emily said is absolutely correct. i can't wait till january 20th because this country is going to be made better again, great again by president trump and his staff real quickly. >> i've got only seconds left.

quick predictions 10s each. emily. >> everything's going to be awesome, guys. that's my prediction. and i think we haven't had the end of biden's pardons. >> no question about it. i think president trump will be the greatest president we ever had. president trump will become the greatest president ever in american history. >> merry christmas. stay with us. more of this special edition of hannity right after the break. >> be honest. do you actually wash your water bottle every day? do your kids? bacteria can double every 20 minutes. don't grow bacteria in your water bottle. the american wagon train pioneers used silver coins to keep water barrels bacteria free. nasa astronauts even rely on a silver based water purification system in space. bacteria can double every 20 minutes. imagine your kids drinking that don't grow bacteria in their water bottle. introducing the coin of harmony, a water purifier coin
